Sounds good man. Keep us posted on the whole deal. You should be happy with the whole new intake/tune & super damper. Your power doesn't even look like it peaked yet on the dyno chart. I had the same problem one time. The guy wouldn't rev the thing out. I want to see how far my power carries & how hard it falls & where.

Will see what this set up will make if I’m still itching for more then I might look into doing different heads.

I knew going the 383 route wasn’t going be the easiest way to make big power, like most the 400+ ci. I do love having a motor that’s period correct to 4th gen fbody.

If you can't make 470 with that take it out back and shoot it.

LOL

Oh and the super damper sounds like a great idea, under drive be nice to free up a little power. Revving it to 7k may make it a little faster depending where you land in RPM when you go to the next gear.

What wheels and tires are on it? A lightweight drag setup can make a considerable difference also. Running bias ply slicks will free up a lot of weight and help that 10 bolt live also.

I have to say I like your style, running a stroker and a 10 bolt with a 6 speed.

No drag car it’s built for autoX, back road spirited driving, and long road trips . I’m on Fikse FM5 17x9.5 and 17x11 275/45r17 all around. Also get sucked into to many little roll races with friends also.

Lol Blind Faith it is, I’m hoping no digs or slicks it’ll last.... If/when this built 10-bolt goes I’ll probably do a 8.8 so I can actually do some drag for fun again.

Best wheels ever. I had those on my 2000 SS. But you need 315's out back! Either way car looks damn good and is lowered just right.

For your driving you don't need slicks and avoiding digs is a good idea but I'll go on a little rant about slicks anyway lol

It's counter intuitive, but slicks greatly help the 10 bolt last. The soft sidewalls absorb tons of the shock load, shock loads are what break them. That's why autos don't break the 10 bolts near as much as a 6 speed, no shock from banging the clutch. Hooking isn't the problem, the slam from banging the clutch breaks them. Picture it like pushing on something vs hitting the same thing with a hammer. Try pushing a nail in, that's what an auto does, it pushes, clutches hammer. The soft side wall slicks absorb the shock. I know several people that have broken rear ends on street tires and drag radials that had no broken parts with slicks, even launching at the track.

Think about it, you can hammer it in first with it in gear, it hooks and goes and doesn't break. Pop the clutch from a stop though.. Some guys are real good at slipping the clutch on a launch and can make them last too, but that's pretty hard to do and one oopsie is all it takes.

I had a 383 that made 534rwhp through a T56 and an 8.8, 518 SAE corrected. Used hand ported Dart 225s with 2.055 valves, 243-251 112 .624 Custom ground cam, 1138:1 SCR, Edelbrock Pro-Flo with ported opening 42lbl LS3 injectors and 105mm TB, 30 lb MCLeod flywheel , they can make power. I also noticed this motor made more power than most 408 builds in Dyno results.

Now THAT takes talent lol.

I broke a 10 bolt.. with an auto.. just hammering it from a roll in first gear. It was in the middle of the day on a busy street and pieces shot out of the rear end cover. It blew up in spectacular fashion. Funny thing is I drove it back to the shop about 8 or so miles away with it trying to lock and banging the whole time. I got it there and pulled the cover off, pulled some chunks out, slapped the cover on and banged the holes in the cover back in with a hammer and put silicone over them and drove it to the rear end shop a good 10+ miles away lol.

LOL, nice! I always give the Ford guys a hard time that in order to break my car, I had to put ONE Ford part on it. Snapped the pinion yoke in half on the 1st launch with the 9 inch.

LOL that's funny.

When you said you broke a 9 inch I was like whaaaa. The yoke I can understand though, the rear itself is a much harder thing to break

yeah, can't say I've seen 1 shear in half before. But thank goodness for driveshaft loops. Replaced with a billet yoke and took my 3800lb car 1.5x a couple times lol.

I was happy since it was my DD and a full weight real street car with A/C. Was only at 8 psi of boost too LOL. If I bothered to gut it and give it the beams it could have done some damage, but my goal was 11's so I was content.

I'd atleast ho the fast route, but a better head def wouldn't hurt. Prc 227s and the fast I think youd be very happy with the outcome.

Dose anyone have a preference of MSD vs Fast 102? I've been reading alot between the two seeing that MSD slightly out performing across the bored. Trying search more on Ported MSD and Fast results. Right now My motor reves out at 6500 peak power was at 6000 with ls6intake of course.
